Hello,  i just got the z97 gaming 5,  for my i7 4790 and my 16gb ddr3, and when im going to connect my io case cables (power sw,  reset,  etc..) i cant figure out how to really connect them,  but before you say look at the manual,  hear me out. The problem is that,  lets take the power for example. On thr motherboard there is power +, power - , BUT the case cables only have two connections that are like glued together and on it they wrote power sw,  without stating which is (-) and which is (+). The thing that might help you to help me is that one of the cables that are glued together is white and one is black. to make it short,   White = (-) or the opposite? 

Thank you. 

For the power switches and reset it doesn't matter which ones is positive or negative it makes no difference, only thing that matters is the LED's are oriented correctly or they will not light.

Having the label face outward when plugging them in makes them easier to read but that's about it. Just plug it in.
